6.2 Wi-Fi Data Connections

Wi-Fi wirelessly connects the device to the Internet through access points (also known as "hotspots") that can be up
to 30 meters away. When the device encounters a hotspot, it can then connect to the network wirelessly. While some
hotspots are free, most public Wi-Fi networks are provided by private internet service providers (ISPs) or wireless
carriers, and using these networks will typically require payment of a connection fee.
Turning Wi-Fi on or off
1. Tap Start > Settings > Connections > WLAN.
2. Tap Search for Networks. The device will detect available Wi-Fi networks. You can then tap the desired one.
3. Select the network you want to connect to.
4. In the Connects to list, select Internet or Work. If you select a secure network, you may need to enter network
key provided by the network administrator.
5. If the network is hidden, select This is a hidden network. If you want to connect to another device instead of a
network through an access point, select This is a device-to-device (ad-hoc) connection. Tap Next.
6. Select your Network Authentication settings, then tap Next. (The default choices are often appropriate.)
7. Tap Finish.
